NEST2021Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)
Group 16 elements form hydrides of the type H ₂ E ( H ₂ O , H ₂ ~S , H ₂ Se . and . H ₂ Te ) . The correct statement regarding these hydrides is
Options
- AEnthalpy of dissociation of H - E bond decreases down the group.
- BThe H - Te - H bond angle is greater than the H - O - H bond angle.
- CH ₂ ~S is a stronger reducing agent than H ₂ Se.
- DAll these hydrides form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
